Dawn® Difference Diaries
Dawn would like to thank Christy Buckley for all of her hard work as the winner of the Dawn Difference Diaries contest. As part of our commitment to helping wildlife, Dawn sent Christy to work with 6 of the best wildlife rescue organizations in the country. Chosen from thousands of applicants, Christy had the adventure of a lifetime, helping animals that came into contact with oil and learning about pollution prevention. As she went through the heartache and hope of rescuing wildlife, she reported back through “daily drops” to the Dawn Difference Diaries, complete with photos and video, which you can read here.

About Me

Hello Readers,

My name is Christy and I am the winner of the Dawn Difference Diaries Contest! I’m from Willistown, Pennsylvania and I have a Biology degree from Penn State University.

One of my favorite past experiences was as a Naturalist on Elkhorn Slough in Moss Landing, CA. I was involved in the identification and recording of the numbers and types of wildlife species on the wetlands area. Daily outings provided the opportunity to observe sea otters, harbor seals, and numerous waterfowl and migratory shorebirds. Also, I am an avid birder and have spent countless hours observing birds and other wildlife during photography expeditions. I also enjoy sailing, yoga, painting, playing guitar and snowboarding.

In the future, I would like to take a more hands on approach to wildlife rehabilitation. During this adventure, I hope to deepen and broaden my understanding of the issues surrounding this important field. Also, I believe that by participating in this program I will be contributing to the education of the public about the protection of the animals with whom we share this planet. I feel that education is one of the best ways to aid in minimizing the effects of human activities on wildlife. I am so excited to meet the individuals who really make a difference in this field and hopefully make a difference too!

Thanks!

Christy

Congratulations on winning the contest. I'm really looking forward to hearing about your personal experiences working at the different wildlife centers around the country. I hope that as more and more people become educated about the impacts humans have on the environment, we'll make changes which in turn will help the animals. I've been carrying cloth grocery bags since 1991. Maybe Dawn will make some bags as a promotional item? The new logo is really cool! Have a great time and thanks for making a difference in such a personal way.
